Over the years, Hour Detroit‘s Best Dressed lists have featured some of metro Detroit’s most popular athletes, business professionals, community leaders, and more. Here is a roundup some of our favorite looks and honorees from the past 18 years.
Curtis Granderson
The Tigers’ All-Star center fielder told us in 2009, “I like wearing what everybody else isn’t wearing.” While always wanting to look his best, he admits, “I try not to spend too much on clothes.”
Golden Tate
In 2018, the Lions wide receiver made the cover in a black and white tuxedo. Describing his signature style, he said, “I always dress a little louder than everyone else to stand out. Kind of goes with my ‘show-time’ vibe and personality.”
Amp Fiddler
In 2011, the producer and musician who introduced J Dilla to the MPC drum machine told us that when he was in high school, his mom got him a job in That Guy Shop at Hudson’s. “It was over for me after that. I was bit by the fashion bug.” Fiddler died in 2023 at age 65.
Aki Choklat
The chair of fashion accessories design at CCS was featured on the cover in 2019. With a style inspired by history, Choklat believes “clothes and accessories were so much more interesting in [earlier years].”
Nicole Eisenberg
The “philanthropist, DIA board [member], art lover, wife, mother” told us in 2012 that she loves supporting upcoming new designers. “That’s what fashion is all about — moving forward.” This year, her teenage son, Evan, is a Best Dressed honoree.
Joumana Kayrouz
Famous for her billboards dotting the highways of metro Detroit, the attorney has the same attitude toward clothes. She had this to say in 2016: “I view clothes as a walking advertisement of my skills and confidence.”
Torii Hunter
The Detroit Tigers player described his style to us in 2013 as classy mixed with funky. “I call it up-to-date. I have kids in college. I’ll never have them laughing and saying, ‘Look at that old-school stuff Dad is wearing.’” Hunter played two seasons with the Tigers.
